Definitions
- the present invention relates to an ion generator device with electronic cyclotron resonance, and more precisely a source of single-charged ions of the ECR or "Electron Cyclotron Resonance" type, for electronic cyclotron resonance.
- ECR sources electronic cyclotron resonance devices, also called ECR sources, are used to produce mono-charged or multi-charged ions (that is to say atoms from which one or more electrons have been torn off).
- upstream and downstream are used with reference to the direction of propagation of the ion beam at the outlet of the chamber.
- Chamber 1 is supplied with atoms which can come from a gas or a metal and the means of propagation of a high-frequency wave and the means of generation of a magnetic field make it possible to couple, inside the chamber a high-frequency wave with a magnetic field B, so as to obtain the conditions under which, an electronic cyclotron resonance is likely to appear and to ionize the atoms present, thus generating a plasma.
- the chamber is at high voltage, that is to say voltages of up to 100,000 V.
- the elements which are connected to the chamber are therefore also high voltage.
- the means for generating a magnetic field, at least part of the means for propagating a high-frequency wave are at high voltage.
- the high-voltage elements are supported by an insulating platform 9 and by a support flange 8.
- the ion cyclotron electronic resonance generating device also comprises an accelerator tube 7 which makes it possible to achieve electrical insulation between the high-voltage and the low-voltage and which makes it possible to extract ions in the chamber with a series of electrodes 11 making it possible to form an ion beam which is then directed towards a transport line 10 at low voltage to be used or studied.
- the downstream side of the accelerator tube 7 is connected to the transmission line 10 which is at low voltage.
- the downstream side of the accelerator tube is at low voltage.
- the accelerator tube 7 is disposed downstream of the support flange 8, which itself is disposed downstream of the plasma chamber 1.
- the upstream side of the accelerator tube 7 is at high voltage.
- the accelerator tube 7 therefore comprises an insulating structure 12 which is arranged downstream of the support flange 8.
- the insulating structure 12 has an upstream end 15 which is at the potential of the support flange 8 and of the chamber 1, and a downstream end 16 which is at the potential of the transport line 10.
- the insulating structure 12 is generally a cylindrical insulating structure composed of ceramics 13 and rings metals 14 of potential distribution arranged between the upstream end 15 and the downstream end 16.
- the accelerator tube 7 also comprises an extraction system which comprises several electrodes 11a to 11e which make it possible to form an ion beam at the outlet of the plasma chamber 1.
- the accelerator tube 7 is connected to a sleeve of pumping 17, downstream of the electrodes 11a to 11e, which makes it possible to avoid a breakdown between the electrodes.
- the extraction system comprises a first electrode 11a which is arranged at the outlet from the chamber 1.
- This first pierced electrode 11a produces the outlet orifice of the plasma chamber.
- This first electrode 11a is at high voltage and it is connected to the support flange 8.
- the extraction system also comprises a second electrode 11b which is connected to one of the metal rings 14 of potential distribution.
- This second electrode 11b has a variable potential as a function of the species which it is desired to extract outside the chamber.
- the potential of the second electrode 11b has an independent polarization.
- the extraction system then comprises two electrodes 11c and 11d which are connected to the downstream end 16 of the accelerator tube 7 and which are at the same potential as the downstream end of the accelerator tube 7, that is to say at the potential of transmission line 10.
- the extraction system then comprises a fifth electrode 11e disposed between the electrodes 11c and 11d which is at a negative potential with respect to the potential of the transport line 10 in order to prevent the electrons from returning to the plasma chamber 1.
- the electrodes 11a to 11e make it possible to accelerate and guide the ion beam leaving the chamber 1.
- the contour of each electrode is optimized in order to avoid on the one hand any electrical breakdown and on the other hand any geometric aberration in focusing the beam.
- the region of the space for which the profile of the electrodes conditions the extraction of the beam is included inside the zone represented on the figure 5a , in which the inter-electrode distances, thicknesses, angles, and leaves of each of the electrodes completely characterize the extracted beam.
- the electrode 11b is connected to one of the metal potential distribution rings 14 so as to be able to polarize it independently.
- the electrodes 11c and 11d are connected to the downstream flange 16 of the accelerator tube 7 in order to bring them to the potential of the line of transport 10.
- the electrode 11e is fixed to the electrode 11c by means of insulating spacers and is brought to a negative potential with respect to the transport line 10.
- the insulating structure 12 of the accelerator tube surrounds the electrodes of the extraction system and therefore has a large diameter and a long length so that the device figures 1 and 2 is very bulky.
- the means for generating a magnetic field 4 which most often include coils, are at high voltage so that an isolation transformer must be used to supply the coils with energy, which complicates the design of the device.
- the pumping through the transport line 10 may be insufficient to avoid a breakdown between the electrodes.
- the device of the figure 1 comprises solenoids 30 arranged along the transport line 10 which make it possible to refocus the ion beam along the transport line 10. From the electrode 11d to the exit of the accelerator tube 7 the beam diverges by electrostatic repulsion of the beam charges between them, causing a large beam size and a significant divergence of the beam at the outlet of the accelerator tube 7.
- the first solenoid 30 can only be positioned downstream of the accelerator tube 7. The focusing of the beam only intervenes at the outlet of the accelerator tube 7 leading to a degradation of the brightness of the beam produced.
- the weight of the assembly formed by the chamber 1, the extraction system 11, the magnetic system 4 and the insulating structure 12 makes it difficult to support it by the single support flange 8.
- the support flange 8 which is at the high voltage supports the magnetic system as well as the plasma chamber. She must therefore rest on a platform 9 isolated from the transport line which allows mechanical forces to be taken up, ensuring the centering of the assembly as well as the vacuum tightness.
- the presence of the platform makes the device bulky and heavy.
- the document JP H06-19961 B2 describes an ion generator device comprising a plasma chamber, means for generating a magnetic field in the plasma chamber, the plasma chamber being at a first potential, the means for generating a magnetic field being at a second potential, and means for propagating a high-frequency wave inside the plasma chamber.
- the invention aims to remedy the drawbacks of the prior art by proposing an ion generator device with electronic cyclotron resonance which is less bulky than those of the prior art.
- Another object of the invention is to provide an ion generator device with electronic cyclotron resonance which is lighter than those of the prior art.
- Another object of the invention is to propose an ion generator device with electronic cyclotron resonance of simpler design than those of the prior art.
- the invention also aims to propose an ion generator device with electronic cyclotron resonance which makes it possible to have a better focused ion beam.
- downstream and upstream are used with reference to an element of the system and with respect to the direction of propagation of the ion beam at the outlet of the plasma chamber.
- the means for generating a magnetic field which generally comprise at least one coil, are no longer arranged upstream of the insulating structure but downstream. Indeed, instead of having the means for generating a magnetic field around the place where one wants to create the magnetic field, the invention proposes to shift these generation means downstream from the place where the we want to create the magnetic field and use the leakage field from these means for generating a magnetic field instead of using the maximum magnetic field produced by the means for generating a magnetic field.

- the device according to the invention may also include one or more of the characteristics described below taken individually or according to all technically possible combinations.
- the device is preferably a source of mono-charged ions of the ECR type.
- This source of mono-charged ions is intended mainly for the injection of beams of ions of high brightness in particle accelerators. Direct extraction in the magnetic field makes it possible to limit the radial extension of the beam as soon as it is formed in the plasma electrode, and therefore the loss of particles on the walls of the vacuum chamber of the transport line.
